Look at the source code license, it's MIT licensed. We are a publicly funded research organization, so even our "work code" is open source.

OP here. I agree and my phrasing may not have been exact. I meant that if you need to pick a number for a whole group of people, then you look at the average. This can be in the context of industrial production where you have thousands of w

All these things happen in academia. Nowadays, many people regularly work from home for the quiet (I do 1 day a week from home).

I have a PhD already (from an US institution), but there are elements that are pretty specific to academic research: it's fairly competitive (and wins are not that constant) and it's very individualized. It's also one where w

Which is a good reason not to work 60 hours regularly over the long term, but not a reason to never put in a 60 hour work week or even a few in a row. Elsewhere, I've written how it may be better to switch between periods of very long

OP here. Do you have a citation? The post is mostly to address this constant claims that 40 hours is proven by science and no convincing citations are provided. I am also writing in the context of self-managing knowledge workers who can man

I do cite one study, but burden of proof of producing citations is on people claiming that "science shows". I never claim that. In fact, I found few scientific articles on the subject and the few that I did find were not relevant

OP here. "Studies found that crunch slows down only after few weeks of crunch and 40-50 hours a week had same product long term" [citation needed] Can people please stop claiming that "studies found..." without citations

Maybe, but pseudo-C actually worked very well. I even have some "real C" in my Haskell code to handle some inner loop stuff.

(OP here) I do say it's not that big of a deal in the end: it almost always is OK and at the end you optimize the inner loops by looking at profiles; like in any other project. But when using GHC, I have indeed sometimes ran into situa

OP here. The point about a learning curve is that Haskell is different from most mainstream programming languages. > > 2. Haskell has some very nice libraries > So does NodeJS and (on an abstract level) Microsoft Word. > Librar

These are gross income values (pre-tax), so, actually they do count social benefits (at least partially, the median household may be the beneficiary of transfers).

The benefits to French GDP are not mainly from the tickets, but from the tourism-related revenue (hotel stays, restaurants, flights, &c). The official Paris tourist office has a picture of the Louvre on the top of its front page. Let me

"Accumulated capital (like Notre Dame and the Louvre) doesn't show up in GDP either, and if anything tends to lower it." Notre Dame and the Louvre are a couple of the things that make Paris the single biggest tourist destinat

I think it means "provide government-issued photo ID to get a password which can be traced back to you". The context is if someone using the cafe's internet infringes on copyright, the copyright holder needs to find whom to s

Regulations will probably come in the form of making these types of checks mandatory. See, for example, how US Senators pressure payment providers to check up on whether their customers may be profiting from illegal file-sharing: https:&#x

You'll note that seafile has said they're looking for a German provider, which will be regulated differently from PayPal. Germany has a much stronger attachment to privacy than does the US, so maybe they have fewer "Know Your

With Rpy, you could have done it even from Python, calling R seamlessly and without data copy.
